Symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Rough or unstable idle
- Hesitation or poor acceleration
- Increased fuel consumption
- Possible limp mode with reduced power

- Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Flow During Non-Purge Chevrolet Only worn, contaminated or out of calibration
- Mechanical problem in the system the sensor measures
- Air, vacuum or exhaust leak influencing the reading
- Wrong or low-quality replacement part
- Wiring resistance causing a small voltage offset
How to diagnose
- Compare the live Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Flow During Non-Purge Chevrolet Only reading with a known-good value or a second sensor at idle and at 2500 rpm
- Check for air, vacuum or exhaust leaks that could skew the reading
- Inspect the component for contamination and clean it if the design allows
- Verify the part number is correct for the engine
- Replace the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Flow During Non-Purge Chevrolet Only if the reading remains out of specification
